I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at World Market (Chico, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Group interview with four total applicants. Led by the manager Frank and a supervisor. Atmosphere was very relaxed and conversational. Come prepared to ask him questions! Also bring a resume to hand off at the end. Be early, that may sound like a no-brainer, but he locked the front door right at 8am and a minute later there was someone outside knocking. He did not answer them.

Interview
I interviewed twice with World Market. First with an associate then with the store manager. It was a very standard interview, mostly focusing on what work was required and if I was a good fit for it. I was hired primarily for freight since my store had a lot of turn over at my time of hire in this department. I was quickly added to the time sheet for various other positions in the store including sales associate and cashier. There were no questions regarding either of those positions in the interview, just whether I would be fine with possibly doing other work in the store.
The interview by the store manager was largely the same as the associate interview, just more promising since I was talking to the person who could actually hire me. If you pass the interviews and are offered a job, be prepared for a relatively low salary. My store didn't budge an inch on that initial salary at all, and offered nearly no options for a later increase. Be prepared for low pay.

Interview
Easy one-on-one interview process with standard questions. The meeting took about half an hour and took place at the location in which I applied to. As long as you come in prepared to answer standard interview questions and show a eagerness to learn and work hard, the interview process will be a breeze.
